The NJCAA national championship trophy, draped with a net, was on display during a Hunt Center celebration of the team’s accomplishment. The Championship Season09.26.05 ... PJC Information Services
“These guys had a goal, had confidence and played well as a team,” Foy said. “They are a great group of guys who became the best they could be at the end of the season and through the tournament run.” “These young men showed 8,000 basketball fans in Hutchinson, Kansas, what teamwork is all about,” PJC President Dr. Pamela Anglin said during a celebration in PJC’s Hunt Center, welcoming home the new national champions. “This is the greatest team and greatest coach in the United States.” The Dragons defeated the nation’s No. 2 team, San Jacinto College, in the finals of the NJCAA Region XIV tournament to earn their first trip to the national finals since 1959. The unranked Dragons then swept through a four-game schedule in the national tournament that included sixth-ranked College of Southern Idaho and 16th-ranked Moberly (Mo.) Area Community College, which they defeated 70-61 in the tournament finals to win the NJCAA title.
Foy, a native of Fort Wayne, Ind., has compiled a 203-118 record during his 10-year tenure at Paris Junior College. The last seven years at PJC have been exceptional. His teams have advanced to the finals of the NJCAA Region XIV state tournament five times while compiling a 162-69 record. This year’s sophomore-laden team that won the NJCAA national title has compiled a 54-16 record over the last two seasons. Dragon Rod Earls, from Little Rock, Ark., was named MVP of the tournament, while teammate Alexander Starr received the Charles Fesher Sportsmanship Award. Foy was named Coach of the Tournament. Earls, Starr and teammate Michael Battle were named to the All-Tournament team. The National Association of Basketball Coaches named Foy Junior College Coach of the Year. “It feels great, because very few coaches get to end their season by winning a national championship,” Foy said.

Lyon came to PJC from Wichita Independent High School in Wichita, Kan., where he was dean of students, head softball coach and head football coach.

His team went 25-1 during his last season there and outscored opponents 304-51, setting a new state record for most runs in a season.

Paris Junior College chemistry instructor Don Kosterman is shown with his redesigned calorimeter and the international article recently published that shares his technique with colleagues. Kosterman focuses on making things better11.13.09 ... PJC Information Services Paris Junior College chemistry instructor Don Kosterman is again receiving international professional attention for improving chemistry experiments, this time by rebuilding a calorimeter – a tool used to measure temperature resulting from chemical reactions – to be more stable and accurate. The invention was recently featured in the article, “A Better ‘Drink Cup’ Calorimeter” published in Chem 13 News, an international publication produced by the University of Waterloo’s Department of Chemistry in Ontario, Canada. Kosterman was published last year in the journal for inventing a method to reduce the scale of chemicals used in experiments, thus reducing the costs. Most calorimeters have been built using nested coffee cups that are shorter, which are prone to tip over and are not as well insulated. “By using three Styrofoam cups,” Kosterman explains, “you can use a shorter digital thermometer and the better insulation produces better measuring results.” Kosterman has been teaching at PJC since 1972. Chem 13 News, in its 41st year, is produced for high schools, junior colleges and small universities. Designed to get usable information out to laboratories and lectures, it is well known throughout the world and regularly receives international submissions. Dragon Camp09.02.09 ...

PJC Information Services Thirty-three students at Paris Junior College have received notice of being chosen for Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges. Faculty members nominate outstanding students each year to receive this recognition. Paris Junior College students receiving recognition and their hometowns include: Logan Anglin, Greg Bratcher, Quaylan Burns, Brandon Currin, Kenneth Glover, Luke Krogman, Juan Luna, Mark McKinnon, Harrison Murphey, Ryan Nance and Roger Yosten all of Paris. Area students include Katherine Elizondo of Honey Grove; Larry Hoffman of Cooper, Zachary Nance of Detroit; Heather Grimes of Pickton; Alberto Guitierrez of Como; Dustin Spindle of Dodd City; Michelle Blackshear and Toby Neal of Greenville; Andrew Pickles of Sulphur Springs; Adrienne Boswell of Rockwall, Hillary Baugh of Trenton; Morganne Fikes of Rowlett; Mallory Johnson of Decatur, Brian Wuest of Prosper; Randi White White of Euless; and Tess Williams of Odessa.

Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges was started in 1934 by Pettus Randall who was then an undergraduate student at the University of Alabama, preparing to enter law school. He had been an outstanding student in all aspects of academic and campus activities and as a result had been tapped into various campus honor societies. Although Randall valued these honors bestowed by his alma mater, he was unable to accept them because membership fees cost more than he could afford so he created this honors program without dues or fees to recognize outstanding students for their academic accomplishments and scholastic contributions. In 1966 the first edition of Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges was published. It continues to this day. Flag Football09.02.09 ... PJC Information Services Intramural Flag Football.

PJC Information Services The Drama Department at Paris Junior College will present its annual Homecoming drama, Private Lives by Noel Coward, on Nov. 6, 7, 8, 13 and 14. Show times are at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6, 7, 13 and 14, with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8. Private Lives is a 1930 comedy of manners and focuses on a divorced couple that discover they are honeymooning with their new spouses in the same hotel. The play premiered on Aug. 18, 1930, at the King’s Theatre in Edinburgh, Scotland. Private Lives is considered one of the enduring successes of modern comedic theatre. Sir Noel Coward entertained theatergoers for over half a century with what he called his “talent to amuse” – as an actor, playwright, director, composer and singer. He is best known for the witty sophisticated comedies of manners written from the 1920s through the early 1940s, which delighted and sometimes shocked audiences with their satiric portrayals of the English leisured classes between the wars. In 1970 Noel Coward was honored by the rank of Knight to become Sir Noel Coward. Only three short years later Sir Noel Coward joined the ranks of William Shakespeare, Byron, Keats, Yeats and many others when he passed away at his home in Jamaica in 1973. Tickets are $5 for the general public and are free to PJC students with ID. For more information, call 903-782-0327.
